Ireland Statutory Sick Pay Calculator 2026
Calculate statutory sick pay in Ireland for 2026: 70% of your daily pay, up to €110 a day, for up to 5 sick days a year paid by your employer.
You must have worked 13 continuous weeks for the employer and have a medical certificate. After the statutory days you may get Illness Benefit from the Department of Social Protection; your employer's own scheme may pay more.
What it does
Ireland's Sick Leave Act 2022 gives employees statutory sick pay from their employer: 5 days a year since 2024, paid at 70% of normal daily pay up to €110 a day. The sick pay year is the calendar year, and the days do not have to be consecutive.
How to use it
- Type your gross weekly pay and the days you work per week.
- Type the sick days this year.
- Read the sick pay per day and in total.
The arithmetic runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere and nothing is stored, so you can use these with real numbers.
